Like other SingleTrac games (most notably JetMoto), the gameplay in Twisted Metal 2 is very well designed. You've got your special weapons and items, such as homing missiles, napalm blasts and bombs, insane endings (that really, really make this game what it is) and a good variety of arena based levels. Other than that, everything is basically the same. The Playstation only allowed for a two player split screen deathmatch. The PC version does, however, feature a nice multiplayer support, allowing 8 friends to go at it in a chaotic free-for-all to the finish. It feels a little more sluggish in some areas, but isn't too overly evident. The control, unfortunately, isn't as defined or tight as the Playstation counterpart. If you are, the graphics are actually very good looking with realistic flame and smoke effects. And the graphical improvements are especially evident if you are running a 3DFX card. Everything seems to be running in a higher resolution rather than the grungy Playstation version. It was also released for download in Japan and North America on the PlayStation Network in 2007.The graphics for the Windows version seem to have been enhanced slightly. Two years after its release, Twisted Metal 2 was re-released as a PlayStation Greatest Hits game, however under the developer 989 Studios instead of SingleTrac. It also features multiplayer mode over a modem line or Internet. The Microsoft Windows version features slightly cut-down graphics compared to the PlayStation version but doesn't require a 3D accelerator video card. It was developed by the game studio SingleTrac, published by Sony, and released in 1996 for PlayStation and Microsoft Windows. Twisted Metal 2 (known as Twisted Metal: World Tour in Europe and Twisted Metal EX in Japan) is the second and most successful game in the vehicular combat series, Twisted Metal.
